A compliment to sweeper, who just made the floor shine, will surely make his day. Just few words from heart "Chamka diya apne to ise! Mast!"
A compliment to the gardener, who planted some beautiful flower plants a few weeks ago and whose hard work turned out in form of beauty of colorful roses, will surely make his day. Just few words from heart "Badhiya gulab lagaye hain bhaiya!"
A compliment to garbage collector from the street, who just cleaned your surroundings, will surely make his day. Just few words from heart "Achcha kam kiya bhaiya!"
An applause when someone shows an act of honesty; being not active for the act would have benefited that person, yet he did it. Just few words from heart "Thank you! Just be the same forever! You are a true human being." We should follow such persons, who are really honest.
A comment to your student, who could not do good in his exams, will surely make his day. Just few words from heart "Koi nai, exams to chalte rahte hain, agli bar aur achche se mehnat karna." This will encourage him, not to worry about the past but to eye for a bigger goal in future.
For a person, support from a fellow, when he is fumbled in his presentation, will surely make his day. Just few words from heart "Hang on buddy! Have confidence in yourself." (I witnessed this happening with me and some other friends too.)
A compliment to a social activist, going to start his new project, will surely make his day. Just few words from heart "Badhiya hai! Tum aage badho, hum tumhare sath hain."
There can be a lot more examples from our daily life, which many times we don't even care and life just goes on & on. We must think "Where are we leading to?"
Many times people just say "This is their duty. They are doing this because they have to do", but the point is "Are they doing enthusiastically?" or "Just doing their job because they have to do it." Everybody needs some amount of pampering, sometimes a single line will do.
All the above said statements can be exchanged among any kind of persons, irrespective of their social status. Its a moral support. You need not to move your big body but tongue; your words will be more effective than anything else. Even many times a smile will do.
In this fast forward life, we have forgotten all the emotions. We are forgetting all our social duties. We are human after all, we need to learn to encourage the people around us to make this society a better place to live.
These were only few examples of possible conversation among "Human beings", there occur a lot of moments where you can show some gratitude or respect. Somehow these are "Gratitude from human to human", "Applause from a human to another", "Respect from one human being to other one". What is the big deal?
Just few words from heart can be magical.
Any person can be on other side of table so quickly, please think through that once "How much these compliments will matter to you after you are on the opposite end".
In true sense, this is life- "Sharing your feelings, showing some gratitude, receiving respect for your generous acts, in total "Being Human"."
Can't we stop suicides, that occur due to mental frustration? Can't we remove stress from our fellow passenger's life? Actually we are losing the actual meaning of life. We need to wake up now, Why can't we spend sometime in clapping for others? Why can't we pat someone's back? Why can't we bear someone's progress? Can't we share few good words? Can't we pass a happy smile to others? On a serious note, we must learn before it all turn to debris.
p.s. - "Few compliments/comments on the post by a blogger, who writes from his heart, will surely make his day [:D][:D]" (you know what I meant!)
p.p.s. - This post is inspired after I co-related my wishes to gardener who planted a lot of beautiful roses of different colors in our hostel, though a government body and "Jadu ki Jhappi by Sanjay Dutt to a sweeper in film - Munna Bhai M.B.B.S."
p.p.p.s. - I'm in learning phase of English, so please let me know about any blunder I've made in any of the post.
10 stones hit me....wanna throw more??:
You are very right Arvind..We have forgotton the art of appreciating others.Negativity has creeped in to such an extent that we find no merit in any job anyone does.The point is that we have lost tolerance-to the success of others,we are unable to bear when someone else wins laurels for his/her commendable job.. you correctly made a point that we are forgetting our social duties...i really like the write up because it encompasses simplicity with substance..
Good job, Arvind :)
@Monam: Thanks for your humble gesture through these beautiful words. You summarized what I really wanted to say. I hope you'd spread this message by your actions.
